Before starting on the content for the presentation, I worked through each section and the content which it requires. This will mean that I will have a larger body of information that required and the most appropriate to my practise/learning/engagement will be included in the presentation. This will also give a natural structure to the presentation.
As identified at the beginning of the year I have 3 aims for level 5:
- Continue to grow in confidence in myself and in my work
- To complete briefs that reflect my style and interests
- To continue collaborating
These aims have stemmed from my achievements in Level 4 as well as my goals for the future.
